Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of indigo cultivation in Bihar, India, during the early 20th century. Focusing on the vital indigo industry, the author meticulously investigates the decline of Java indigo, a once-thriving crop that played a significant role in the region's economy. Through detailed observations and experiments, the author unravels the mystery of the indigo wilt disease, revealing its root cause to be a complex interplay of factors like soil aeration, rainfall, and the plant's own biological characteristics. The author highlights the devastating impact of unrestricted cross-fertilization and the absence of selective breeding practices, which led to the decline of the once-robust Java indigo strain. This book offers a glimpse into the intricate relationship between agricultural practices, environmental conditions, and the very essence of a plant's genetic makeup, providing valuable insights into the delicate balance that must be maintained for the success of any crop. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
